The primary MINISTRY OF THE ST. INNOCENT MONASTIC COMMUNITY is educational. There are 2 facets to this vital ministry. The first major and vital arm of the educational ministry of the St. Innocent Monastic Community is the written article/book form, most of which are made available on this website in the 9 pull-down tab sections: "Essays," "Saints' Lives," "Prayers For the Journey," "Mediations 1 and 2," "Sacred Places," "Holy Sacraments-Mysteries," "The Orthodox Faith," and "What in the World is the Orthodox Church?" In May 2018, when this website was created, there were 73 articles of varying lengths. In November 2018 the figure increased to 87 articles, and increased further in December with 18 additional posts. In 2020 an additional significant new 5 articles/essays were written and posted. All but 2 of these 110+ essays and other items are written by Sister Ioanna, who also makes the Firebird products. Please view these 110+ educational and spiritual entries under the 9 pull-down tab sections on this website.

The second arm of the educational ministry of the St. Innocent Monastic Community is FIREBIRD VIDEOS, AUDIOS & BOOKS, which is a producer of multi-media educational materials about the Orthodox Faith and practices, primarily video, but also includes several books and audio recordings. It functions as a subsidiary and legally registered DBA (Doing Business As) with the State of Michigan, and has its own website, which we are still in the process of revising and reviving.  Currently we are not accepting orders (except for books). However, we are ever hopeful to be able to return to our work with this dimension of our educational ministry 'soon.' At the present, we are working on the writing and publishing dimension of our ministry.          (N.B. The image seen in the upper left is a painting of a Firebird.)
